Alpha Protocol is a third-person role-playing video game, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Sega. The game revolves around the adventures of rookie CIA field agent Michael Thorton. Alpha Protocol is played from a third-person perspective, allowing the player to see Thorton and his surroundings at all times. As Thorton is a trained CIA operative, the tools at the player's disposal include numerous firearms, hand to hand combat using Kenpo, and spy gadgets.
In addition to the action elements, though, players also earn Advancement Points, which can be placed into any of the ten different skills in the game. These skills will increase Thorton's ability to use certain weapons and grant different abilities to him. These abilities are free to use, but require a "cooldown" period before they can be used again. One ability that has been mentioned in previews allows Thorton to scan a group of enemies in slow-motion before popping out of cover and shooting each of them more rapidly than he would be capable of normally.

GiantBomb 6.0            

There are brilliant moments in Alpha Protocol, but they're all but muted by poor gunplay and a list of unfortunate technical issues.

GameSpot 6.0            

Alpha Protocol's astounding intricacies are tarnished by bugs, clumsy gameplay mechanics, and rough production values.

 

1UP 7.7            

Sega melds espionage action and role playing elements into a spy game that's absolutely worth revisiting at least once after the credits roll.

GiantBomb 8.0            

It trades its predecessor's goofy fan-service enthusiasm for something approaching relevance and seriousness, but MUA2 still packs a superhero punch.

IGN 7.7            

Cap and Iron Man want you, but do you want them?

 

GameSpot 7.5            

A colorful cast of comic characters enlivens this fun and technically uneven sequel.

1UP 6.2            

Vicarious Visions' PS3/360 sequel is like Ben Reilly: almost, but not quite as good as the original.
